Question about using Elmer's school glue to baste

I tried the spray basting last week and almost asphixiated myself! So while I was waiting for my sewing room to air out I started thinking--has anyone tried putting Elmer's school glue with water into a spray bottle and using it that way? Obviously, it would have to be very watered down in order to go through the sprayer--but if it works I think it would be a great alternative to the commerial spray basting products and using it straight from the bottle. Thoughts??

Don't remember who, but someone here on the board dilutes Elmer's washable school glue with water and said it worked fine. I tried it, but I must not have diluted the glue enough, wrong size nozzle, etc, 'cause I couldn't get it to spray. So I just use it straight from bottle and let dry.
